Our Brand

We're always looking for new and exciting projects. We recently added our own LED cube kits to the website and are working on some other great new items. Our Sketch Pad has proven to be really popular. Not only is it fun to build, it's extremely useful. Keep an eye out for new products in the Hobby Components Range.

The recently added 4x4x4 LED cube kits we created have been extremely popular! We created these as through-hole kits so they suited a wider range of customers and it seems to have been a good move! Feel free to get in touch if you've built up the kit and have a customer video.

The Texas Instruments 74HC02N Quad 2-input NOR gate is available in a DIL-14 package. It has full function and pin compatibility with LSTTL family and most types of the CMOS-4000 family. It features very short switching times and with a fan out of 10 LSTTL loads.

The AT28C64B-15PU is a high performance 64K (8K x 8bit) parallel EEPROM device in 28 pin DIP. Its 64K of memory is organized as 8192words by 8bits. This EEPROM is manufactured with Atmel's advanced non volatile CMOS technology, the device offers access times to 150ns with power dissipation of 220mW. When device is deselected, the CMOS standby current is...

The SN74HC139N is a 2-to-4 dual Decoder/Demultiplexer designed for high-performance memory-decoding or data-routing applications requiring very short propagation delay times. In high-performance memory systems, these decoders can minimize the effects of system decoding. When employed with high-speed memories utilizing a fast enable circuit, the delay time...

The CD74HC30E is a high speed CMOS logic 8-input NAND Gate. The device provides the system designer with the direct implementation of the positive logic 8-input NAND function. Logic gates utilize silicon gate CMOS technology to achieve operating speeds similar to LSTTL gates with the low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits. This device...

The SN74HC377N is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type Flip-flop with clock enable. It is similar to the HC273 devices, but features a latched clock-enable (CLKEN\) input instead of a common clear. Information at the data (D) inputs meeting the setup time requirements is transferred to the Q outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse, if...

These ZIF, or Zero Insertion Force sockets incorporate a lever which actuates the zero insertion force (ZIF) mechanism to help reduce damage to devices. These 2.54mm DIP sockets provide an excellent test and burn-in interface for dual in-line packages with a 2.54mm pitch and body width of 0.6 inches.

The MAX7221 is a compact, serial input/output common-cathode display driver that interfaces microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, or 64 individual LEDs. Included on-chip are a BCD code-B decoder, mu...

M54562 is an eight-circuit output-sourcing Darlington transistor array. The circuit is made of PNP and NPN transistors. These semiconductor integrated circuit performs high-current driving with extremely low input current supply.

The 74HC238 decodes three binary weighted address inputs (A0, A1 and A2) to eight mutually exclusive outputs (Y0 to Y7). The device features three enable inputs (E1 and E2 and E3). Every output will be LOW unless E1 and E2 are LOW and E3 is HIGH.

The DM13A is a constant-current sink driver specifically designed for LED display applications. The device incorporates shift registers, data latches and constant current circuitry on the silicon CMOS chip. The maximum output current value of all 16 channels is adjustable by a single external resistor.

The L293D is a quadruple high-current half-H driver. The L293D is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. This device is designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications. All...

These 0.3 inch DIL IC Sockets are sold with either 8, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24 or 28 pins. The contact plating is tin. The pin pitch is standard 2.54mm and the row pitch is 7.62mm... Please Note: Price is for one (1) - However, the more you buy, the lower the price becomes.

The MCP23017 (HCCOIC0048) IC provides 16-bit, general purpose parallel I/O expansion for I2C bus applications. It consists of multiple 8-bit configuration registers for input, output and polarity selection. The system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing the I/O configuration bits (IODIRA/B)...
